We're heading into an extra busy season for air travel in Canada, with the 2010 Vancouver Olympics in February following hot on the heels of the holidays.
One organization which is putting an effort into making air travel a little less complicated is the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA), the Canadian crown corporation responsible for screening air passengers and their baggage in Canada. Their new Web site includes a Pack Smart section with all the information you need before going to the airport, including which items are permitted and which aren't, how to speed up screening of both people and baggage, international regulations, and tips for different types of passengers, like seniors and people with special needs. Travellers can even create their own customized carry-on checklist.
Knowing what to expect at the airport and preparing before you get there could save you time and the make your trip a lot less stressful.

One thing that bugs me in the plane is the people who cough and sneeze without restraint. Most times they do that without consideration for the people sitting next to them and pass on their germs to us. I’ve wished for some form of protection from the microbes they are spewing out. I could wear a face mask but it is so uncomfortable and moreover it scares away everyone. So I came up with a product idea and patented it. I want to know how many others like me will find this product useful and so created a survey. Just fill it up and give me your valuable feedback. Thanks!
